Absztrakt (kivonat)

Onboarding is one of the most important aspects of human resource management as first impressions are important for new employees at an organization. That is why it is important to do research regarding this function in HR. This is especially important in the case of blue-collar workers as they are often neglected when it comes to onboarding and other programs that could make their work at an organization less stressful and more enriching. There are numerous methods for creating an onboarding system at an organization. These all have their advantages and disadvantages, however one of the most commonly used ones is mentoring. Mentoring has a long history, going back thousands of years, however even nowadays it has its place in modern organizational settings. Its popularity can be chalked up to its highly adaptable nature. From group mentoring to reverse mentoring there is a version that can fit into almost any organization. One of the earliest researchers to examine mentoring as a system is Kathy E. Kram. In her work, she found that mentoring can be broken down into four steps: initiation, cultivation, separation and redefinition. The goal of this thesis was to examine the presence of these steps at a specific company. The research was conducted in Roto Hungary which creates window hardwares. The aim was to examine the experiences that blue-collar workers had regarding their onboarding mentoring program. These were then compared to Kram´s process to identify potential avenues for improvement in the program. The method for information gathering was a primary qualitative method. Both mentors and mentees were interviewed the gain information from both sides of the program. It was discovered the two out of the four phases of Kram´s mentoring process was missing in the current system. These were Initiation and separation. Moreover, the implementation of these were not cohesive across department. Several areas for improvement were identified. These being the need to establish a concluding meeting at the end of the program and also to establish contact between the mentor-mentee pairs to reinforce a positive relationship between them as early as possible
